Close Encounters of the Twenty Footers

Since the green goop was still flowing from Audrey's nose this morning and she still has a bit of a lingering cough, I decided that me working at home was a better option than taking her to daycare today. We decided that she has officially outgrown her infant play-mat, and we set up the "big girl" play mat we inherited from Norma. Anything new holds Audrey's attention for a few minutes--which was just long enough to attend to all the emails I needed to send today.

The stars aligned around 1pm (she was both well-fed and well-rested), so we both took an extended lunch break and went to the zoo. The highlight of the trip was again the giraffes, especially since one took interest in her, bent down, and stuck his nose within six inches of her nose. I honestly thought he was going to lick Audrey in the face. Both everyday events and extraordinary occurrences are still equally amazing (or unamazing) to her, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she didn't even flinch.

This is the third cold Audrey has had and it is definitely the worst we've experienced. We are on day six and I feel like she is just starting to get better. Luckily we have turned the corner and hopefully she will be back to 100% here soon!.
